55An amazing spot! Felt like we were at Point Defiance. The owner was incredibly sweet and came to check-in when we arrived and told us all about their amenities-they have a bench with wipes and bags! If your dog can’t be off-leash like ours and you want to give them some safe freedom, this is it! It made my heart so happy to give my dog this opportunity. He was happy the whole time. Madeline M.

55This sniffspot is amazing! I wish I could give it 10 stars because it is so much better than all the other sniffspots we’ve been to lol. The chickens were great and very tolerant of our puppy sniffing the coop! Our dogs had the absolute best time :) Sean A.

55This was a perfect adventure for my three girls. The property is vast, the location is serene and has interesting nooks and crannies for my dogs to explore. One of my more recently adopted Great Danes has become reactive with dogs outside of her pack so she doesn’t get off-leash opportunities other than our backyard in the city.
Today, she was able to run, explore and play ball with one of her sisters, fully embracing her freedom.
And I enjoyed the sounds of nature, the birds, breeze in the trees and the happy cackling of the family’s chickens. Anne Marie E.

55Another great visit! Graham continues to wear himself out chasing Mabel, 25 minutes in, he finds his way to the car. Today, he found a ball and had fun chewing on it while Mabel continued to sniff and run.Patrick B.

55What an amazingly beautiful location! Our dogs need to RUN RUN RUN. We do have property for them, but one of ours doesn't play as much on it as the others. They like to hike too, but need some off leash time to run and this place was fabulous. Had such a great time. So beautiful and us humans can get a bit of a workout too. Mary Ann is such a gracious host. Really enjoyed communicating with her. She did have chickens in their enclosed space but visible. We have field dogs who think chickens are a good time! I did manage to keep them from traumatizing them I hope. Some call offs and a slip lead if necessary. Usually I know she has them hidden away. We will be back a FEW times. Thank you Mary Ann, we appreciate you sharing your beautiful space.Wally/Sharon F.

55I am visiting the area and wanted to take my mom’s dogs out. They had never been off leash! This is a really cool property, I like that you can park inside the gate. Even though I could see the owner’s dog in the window it never made a sound. Peaceful and loved hearing the sounds of peacocks.Aly H.

55This is an incredible spot; yard, trails, paths... truly amazing and I think my favorite I've ever found.
My only caution is if you have a reactive dog, the neighbor has 5 dogs- all of whom were outside during our visit. They put up shade cloth against the gate, so they weren't blatantly visible (though they did bark)... our dogs mostly ignored them until toward the end of our time when all 5 dogs ran up to the fence and started barking and the teeniest one was snarling and crashing up against the fence trying to get at one of our dogs which seemed to activate the other ones. They didn't and couldn't get through (of course), but it did cut our visit a bit short as we had to leash our dogs and head out. Not the host's fault at all! But something to be mindful of. I have been here previously when the neighbor dogs were not out and it was perfection! Kate B.
